Adamant Charlie Nicholas believes Sean Dyche and Ralph Hassenhuttl would relish the chance to become Rangers boss IF Gio van Bronckhorst is axed.
The Dutchman is feeling the heat from angry punters who fear the worst with their team seven points adrift of champions Celtic after their sorry loss to St Johnstone on Sunday. But Van Bronckhorst appears set to remain in place for the club's final two Premiership matches before the World Cup at least. His battle to win back his doubters starts with Hearts' visit to Ibrox on Wednesday night.
Former Southampton boss Hassenhuttl is a free agent after leaving Southampton and Dyche is looking for his gig after leaving Burnley in April. And Nicholas is utterly convinced both would give Rangers serious consideration if a managerial vacancy emerges. Speaking in his Express column, he said: "Dyche and Ralph Hasenhuttl should be serious contenders to replace Giovanni van Bronckhorst - if the Rangers board axe him. Ibrox sporting director Ross Wilson worked with Dyche at Watford as well as Hasenhuttl at Southampton, who sacked the Austrian yesterday. Dyche is also out of work, with Burnley having ended his 10-year tenure there in April.
